I live in a suburb of Boston, about 20 miles outside the city. It is not densely developed here and there are farmlands and woodlands is this area. I see deer, coyotes, rabbits, possums, raccoons etc. pretty regularly.
The back of my lot is pretty wild and overgrown (mostly with invasives, unfortunately). I found this pile of poop back there last week. It is a fairly large pile, about six inches across. Any idea what animal made this excrement? Thanks...
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure, but you can look on this website. Could this be a dog that didn't feel too good? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Animal Scat
- Posted by knottyceltic S/W Ontario 5b (My Page) on Mon, Aug 21, 06 at 12:51
Could be a "sick" animal...most often with some pathogen like GIARDIA which can be transferred to humans or pets through contact. Obviously you aren't going to touch it on purpose but just be wary that sickness is a distinct possibility esp. if you have any pets that also access this area. Our dog had Giardia and it's something you don't wish on your WORST enemy. If pets are sniffing around or even eating animal excrement they are in a position to get diseases carried in the intestinal tract of wild animals. I would be inclined to take a shovel out there and cover over it with fresh soil IF you have a pet who roams in the area. Barb |
Likely raccoon or oppossum. knottyceltic is right--NEVER touch scat, regardless of who or what left it. If you must remove it, use a plastic bag and dispose, or bury it somewhere that you won't be digging or gardening. BlueBars |
Thanks all - looks like this might be from an animal with a GI problem - and thanks for the warning about not making contact with animal scat! |

I'm a full time web developer for the Senior Housing Industry. Eating food has always been one of my passions (maybe too much) and now I've taken up food as a more healthy hobby. I've been using an online nutrition tracker and eating well balanced meals and keeping tabs on calories and everything else... I've lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks - without adding any exercise. I plan on implementing an exercise plan within the next week or so, but simply changing my diet has had a tremendous positive effect!
Over the last couple years, I've really started moving away from fast food. I used to love fast food and for a couple years, I really ate about 85% of my food from fast food restaurants, even though I've always enjoyed cooking, the convenience was there.
My new favorite foods are fresh vegetables, chicken prepared all sorts of ways, and excellent hummus.
Thai, Indian, traditional Mexican and other ethnic foods are my favorite. I'm big into spicy foods, and can handle more heat than just about everyone I know. They think I'm nuts, but I love it.

Videos: Police brutality protests by Occupy Denver, Anonymous end in six arrests
Although many in the public perceive Occupy Denver to be a thing of the past, the organization remains quite busy, staging regular protests that recently were dubbed "reprehensible" by the Denver Post.Photos, videos below.
More evidence of ongoing activity: This weekend, a downtown march featuring OD and Anonymous resulted in a dust-up with Denver cops that ended with the arrest of six demonstrators and claims of police brutality -- the subject of the march in the first place.
Get details and see photos and videos below.
On April 5, the Post published "Shame, Occupy Denver, shame," an opinion piece by the paper's Jeremy Meyer that decried ongoing protests by the organization against the city's urban camping ban, passed in 2012.
In the piece, Meyer focuses not on OD's objections, but on its targets: the Tattered Cover bookstore, whose owner, Joyce Meskis, hasn't denounced the ban, and the home of Tami Door, the pro-ban CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership. About the Door rallies, Meyer writes, "The protest is constitutionally legal but morally reprehensible."Joyce Meskis, as seen in a 2008 image from the University of Denver Magazine.
Cut to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, when a march took place on the 16th Street Mall. According to an Occupy Denver release, "This protest, called by the informal net-based group known as 'Anonymous,' was part of the 'Every 5th' event series, in which protesters have gathered downtown on the 5th of every month to protest various issues since November 5, 2013. This particular march was planned in solidarity with protests over a recent police murder of a homeless man in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with an eye to similar ongoing police brutality issues in Denver."
Screen captures from two OD-blessed videos on view below offer a glimpse of what happened. In the beginning, marchers headed down the mall unencumbered.
But as participants began to move into the street, police attempted to shoo them out of traffic.
A physical confrontation followed. Not everything is caught on camera, but it appears that one demonstrator laid hands on an officer who was pulling at another marcher.
A scuffle ensued, with one protester forced to the ground....
...and others taken into custody.
Continue for more about the arrests over the weekend, including two videos.

IEEE Philadelphia Section History
From GHN

A Brief History
Foreword from "100 Years with the IEEE in the Delaware Valley" Philadelphia Section Publication 1984
"The Philadelphia Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE) presents this history of the electro-technical related accomplishments by individuals and companies in the Delaware Valley during the last 100 years in tribute to the founding of IEEE. It is hoped that the collection of articles will prove to be both interesting and informative for the nontechnical reader as well as the members of the Philadelphia Section. If by reading this document, the reader's appreciation of the tremendous impact of engineering on his or her welfare, comfort, and security is enhanced, the Philadelphia Section will feel well rewarded.
Two introductory articles documents the history of the IEEE and the role played by the Franklin Institute in stimulating the founding of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE), which later merged with the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) to for the IEEE. The remaining articles have been grouped into arbitrarily broad divisions of electro-technology: Communications/Entertainment and Broadcast, power and industrial Applications, Rail Transportation, Medical Application, Computers, and Aerospace/Military. The reader will note that achievements by companies as opposed to those by individuals may extend across many or all of the divisions. To properly record the contributions of those individuals whose ideas sparked the developments described and those whose leadership brought forth and many marvelous technical accomplishments we take so much for granted today, would be worthy od several years of effort by a professional historians.
Formal history of the Philadelphia Section (or Branch, as it was then called) of the AIEE began on February 18, 1903. Dr. Carl Hering, the first Chairman, also went on to secure as president of the national AIEE and as a delegate of the U.S. Government to the Universal Exposition of 1889 held in Paris, France. The First regular meetings were help in the meeting room of the Engineer's Club in Philadelphia, then 1122 Girad Street.
The Philadelphia Section of the IRE was recognized in the IRE Proceeding, December, 1925. Mr. Stuart Ballantine was the first Chairman.
It is noteworthy that the Philadelphia Section of the AIEE gave birth to the following offspring: the Delaware Bay Section (1953) – territory, State of Delaware and Salem County, New Jersey; the Southern New Jersey Section (1963) – territory, Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties; and the Princeton-Trenton Division (1961-62). This division included a subsection of the IRE organized by T. H. Story in 1945.
The Philadelphia Section of the IRE was originally assigned the geographical areas covered by Philadelphia, Camden, and Atlantic City. Later this was expanded to include all of Southern New Jersey and the counties in Southeastern Pennsylvannia as far west as Adams, Dauphin, and Perry. Subsections that spun off from the Philadelphia Section include Princeton (1945), Lancaster (1947), Lehigh Valley (1957), and Reading (1959). As noted the Princeton Subsection merged with the AIEE. However, the remaining subsections did not obtain their independence until the time of the merger of AIEE and IRE in 1963. At that time, the Princeton Subsection became an independent section.
Events leading up to the merger of the AIEE and the IRE are described in the "Capsule History of the IEEE." The role played by the Franklin Institute as sponsor of the International Electrical Exhibition, 1884, and the National Conference of Electricians, must not be overlooked. These events emphasized the need for a national organization ro represent the "practical men" such as Elihu Thompson, Edwin Houston, and Thomas Edison, and stimulated the founding of the AIEE.
On behalf of the Philadelphia Section, the Editor apologizes to those individuals or companies that may have been inadvertently omitted from this current history of significant electro-technical accomplishments with the Philadelphia Section of the IEEE. It is especially noted that the history of technical achievements in local RCA plants did not end in 1976. However, the outstanding accomplishments by this extraordinary company remain to be chronicled by some future historian.
The Section sincerely appreciates the time and effort freely given by all those who made this document possible. Specifically, the members of the Committee for the publication of this document are recognized here: G. W. Gordan (SAM'50), K. A. Fegley (F'57), W.W. Middleton (SM'61), K.A. Ringo (SM'56), A.L. Smith (M'77), and S. R. Warren (F'53)." - John C. Bry, Jr. (SM'77) Senior Member of the Engineering Staff, RCA Naval Systems Department, Moorestown, NJ. February, 1984.
"A Capsule History of the IEEE"
This document was orginally printed in "100 Years with the IEEE in the Delaware Valley" Philadelphia Section Publication 1984.
"In 1984, the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEEE) will be celebrating an important milestone – its hundredth anniversary. As the centennial approaches, the institute's members can look back on a century of outstanding progress and achievements and con count as colleagues, past and present, the giants of electrical technology. Thanks to the contributions of these and others, contemporary society is, in part, the product of electrical engineering. Indeed, the history of the IEEE and its predecessors, the AIEE and the IRE is part of the record of the impact o electrical science and technology on the shaping of the twentieth century.
The AIEE was born during a period of optimism and enthusiasm. By 1884, applications for electricity were rapidly increasing, progress in electrical theory and practice was accelerating, and scientists and electricians, as well as entrepreneurs and investors, saw only greater growth ahead. With such growth, electrical technology was becoming more and more complex and practitioners began to feel the need for a national forum to exchange ideas and experiences and an organization to define a new profession.
In the spring 1984, a call was issued for a meeting to form a national electrical society, and after some preliminary gatherings, the AIEE was established in New York City on May 13. Impetus had been given to the new organization by the planning for an International Electrical Exhibition to be help by the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia later that year and the AIEE quickly gained recognition as a spokesperson for American electrical engineers.
From the beginning, wire communications and light and power systems were the major interests of the AIEE. An early and active participant in the development of standards for the electrical industry, the institute laid the foundations for all work on electrical standards done in the United States. During the first three decades of its existence, the AIEE confronted and resolved such internal concerns as locating permanent headquarters for the organization; providing mechanisms for contact with a far-flung membership and with students; and fostering new technical interested through committees that were established to meet the challenge of increasing specialization.
By 1912, however, the interests and needs of those specializing in the expanding field of radio could no longer be satisfied by a technical committee meeting two or three times a years. In that year, two large local radio organizations – The Society of the Wireless Telegraph Engineers and the Wireless Institute – merged to form a national society for the scientists and engineers involved in the development of wireless communications – the IRE. Many of the original members of the AIEE and both organization continued to have members in common until they merged in form the IEEE in 1963.
The structural development and general activities of the IRE were similar to those of the AIEE. Specialized segments were gathered into professional groups under a central governing body; geographical units and student branches were formed; the creation of extensive literature and the exchange of knowledge was facilitated through meetings and publications; membership grades were established and standards became a major concern.
The nature of radio technology meant that the interests of the IRE went beyond national boundaries. Therefore, the new organization sought and attracted members from many countries and eventually established units in several areas throughout the world.
In the 1930's, the word "electronics" became part of the vocabulary of electrical engineering. Electronics engineers tended to be come members of the IRE, but the applications of electron tube technology became so extensive that the technical boundaries differentiating the IRE and the AIEE became difficult to distinguish. After World War II, the two organizations became increasingly competitive. Problems of overlap and duplication od efforts arose, only partially resolved by joint committees and meetings.
Finally, in 1961, the leadership of both the IRE and the AIEE resolved to seek and end to these difficulties through consolidation. The next year a merger plan was formulated and approved and became effective on January 1, 1963. Plans were made for me
Almost two decades have passed since the formation of the IEEE. Today the Institute is than largest professional association in the world with over 200,000 members (as of 1984), and its activities now extend far more widely than its forefathers could have ever foreseen. It remains, however, jut as almost a century ago, the premier spokesman for the most significant and exciting technological field of its time."

I bought some shallot bulbs last fall and planted them at the same time as my new garlic bulbs.
I harvested the shallots on July 3 because they had died down - good harvest, and they are wonderful! Now I'm wondering: should I replant some of them now for a fall harvest? Since harvesting, I read that shallots "take 45 days," and most people plant them in the spring. Why not plant them in the summer for a September harvest? I live in Connecticut, zone 5 - Thanks for any insights! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm curious where you read that shallots take 45 days. If I plant sets in the fall, they are done the following summer (if they don't bolt). If I seed in the late winter/early spring, they are done in late summer. Either way it's well over 100 days. My thoughts are to plant again the same time you did in the fall. If it worked once it'll probably work again. |

I bought a new BlueStar range. It leaked gas at installation. BlueStar sent out a repairman to fix it, and after the second attempt they gave me an extra warranty. The third attempt to fix the gas leaks did not work. The gas company checked the range out for me and found multiple leaks. (The gas smell is too much to leave the gas on to the range). The gas company checked and made sure the problem was not due to gas pressure. It is the range. Now Bluestar told me that giving me the extra warranty "was a mistake"and will not be honored. In addition they will not cover any more repairs even though it is within the first year. Mike Trapp apparently reviewed the situation and said Bluestar will not continue to help me fix their defective range. I am considering legal action, but mainly I am very unhappy and dissapointed. Never again will I buy a "cult" product from a little private company that can just say "no". |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry |
Is Trevor Lawson out there? He has had some success getting BS problems addressed. This one seems totally egregious and calls into question other posts about great BS support. |
There has to be more for this story, for the factory to draw a line, something is not being told |
Sorry your are having problems. Can you ask your dealer to intervene on your behalf? |
Hello, have not been here for a while. I am sorry for your troubles but must agree with others that there must be more to this. This is completely opposite of all interactions I have ever had with Bluestar/Prizer Painter. |
BREEZY!!!! Welcome back! My memory is failing me as it's been so long - could you give a real quick synopsis (or link to a past post) of the service issue(s) with which you had to deal directly with PP? [Sorry for going off-topic; I'm just really interested in hearing both the good and the bad.] |
so guadalupe, with your inside contacts, why don't you tell us the rest of the story from the PP side. |
hmm, I also think there's more to this. Who did you buy this range from? Who installed it? (ya think, there is no back story, the poster just signed up). |
I had the complete opposite experience with very similar circumstances. The first unit they installed had a gas leak. They were going to leave it but I asked them to take it out and bring a new one. The dealer immediately agreed without me having to even insist. Then second unit was installed and "tested" but the installer didn't connect the gas line correctly. Called the dealer and they got a Bluestar tech to come out the same day. He was extremely competent and even demonstrated how he tested for leaks at every joint inside and out of the cooktop. Fearing my dealer would drop the ball after taking the first one back, I called my local distributor and Bluestar and spoke directly with them. Bluestar service manager called me back within 30min of me leaving him a message. Plus after speaking with all of them it was clear they were all aware of my specific install and were all working on getting me a replacement unit. It sucked getting a bad unit to start with but I have no complaints about how it was handled. Aside from the dealer's installer screwing up the second install, everyone was very professional and seemed on top of the problems. I would definitely buy another Bluestar if I ever moved. When I asked how much an extra grate would cost, they said they'd just send me one without charge. Some might think that was the least they could do but in my experience, most would not. |
alexr - my question was posed to breezy, who did not just sign up. |
I also had a gas leak problem with one of my Bluestar ranges (2 in kosher kitchen). It took about 4 visits to fix completely, including replacing the manifold and the regulator, but the range is a pleasure to cook on now. We were not charged for any repairs and our warranty was extended. Mike Trapp was helpful and professional. We are very happy with both the product and Prizer's customer service, and we would buy a Bluestar again. |
Thanks for the warm welcome back ya_think. Mine were not all service related. First was working with them to find out configurations and the like. Both BS and trevor were very helpful. I did have a service issue with one small leak and an ignitor module failure at initial installation. Both were fixed easily and promptly and the unit has been a pure joy to use since. |
No service issues yet but I did talk to the factory last we some questions and they were very helpful. I often think I'd be better off not reading these forum since anyone can post anything weather it be real or not. If I have problems I'll deal with my dealer. There is a reason I bough from someone local and got a service contract from them. |

I have looked into this because it all sounded a little funny. In the interest of full disclosure Chef Chris missed a few details.... probably unknowingly. Bluestar sold the range to Oakton distributors who went bankrupt in 07 (it is possible Bluestar never got paid for the range), the range was purchased by a company called Grants in a Liquidation sale, Grants sold this range to Chef Chris in 08. Grants isů NOTů an Authorized Bluestar Retailer. All ranges purchased via a bankrupt salesůů.. DO NOT carry any manufactures warranty..................I think the term is SOLD AS SEEN Bluestar did try to fix the problems as stated, clearly on a range with no warrantyů. they shouldnĺt have gone out at all but they did, maybe rather than being an unresponsive manufacturer they actually tried to helpůůůůůů. Bluestar has now supplied Chef Chris with all service contractors in the area so he can make contact to fix the problems. NO doubt this range was sold cheap and sold as seen by Grants. Chris..... it seems on the face of it you took a risk by purchasing a range that was from a liquidation stock sale and from a non authorized dealer that has no warranty........ if you were not aware that it was from bad stock or the retailer was not authorized then you were mislead by the retailer, i don't think Bluestar are at fault here |

Trevor.... I am so glad you pointed this out: "you took a risk by purchasing a range that was from a liquidation stock sale and from a non authorized dealer". All consumers should be VERY careful when purchasing products from unauthorized retailer or retailers (online or not) who are 3,000 miles away. The chances of damage or leaks due to a very long travel are extremely high. I suggest supporting the local retailer who buy the product from their local distributor whereby damage or the like are non-existant. As I say many times....."Buyer beware"!!!! |

Dennis Why do you sometimes post as Gloden West (Bluestar Distributor) and other times as dcunited famous soccer star????. |
"The chances of damage or leaks due to a very long travel are extremely high." Are you suggesting Bluestar is a poor choice for west coast customers? Regardless of who's selling them, they all start in Reading, right? |
Travel has no influence on leaks, poor production does. Travel can and does cause damage to cosmetic parts. Dropping will cause leaks and damage. |
Oh Man, "guadalupe", I've seen you on every BlueStar post. Everyone else interested in purchasing a BlueStar has also. You have no credibility, and your presence gives BlueStar a black eye. They're so desperate they need you to spin their public image? Give it up, your efforts are counterproductive. Diva |

Wow, Divadeva. You've resurrected a thread that is 3 weeks old for the sole purpose of lashing out at Guadalupe. S/he is a longstanding contributor to this forum, frequently providing insider information and insight. Tell me, Divadeva, have you helped anyone on this forum, either by providing advice, answering questions, or sharing your knowledge? Though, I HAVE seen posts from you ASKING for advice and help from others, which they freely and generously give. Perhaps when you have achieved some standing on this forum through your contributions, wise advise and help to others, then perhaps you have some basis to flame someone, that is, if they've done something to deserve it, which I don't see that Guadalupe has. This forum is full of nice people and yes, sometimes threads get heated, and full of spirited debate. But you haven't engaged in debate with your comments. If you want help here, try to control your lashing-out-with-no-provocation impulse. |
You go, s+2! Diva, what was so offensive about guadalupe's post? That she contradicted someone who in one thread will say beware of long distance shipping (despite the fact that all west coast units are shipped long distance) and in another thread will recommend a west coast dealer as one who will ship anywhere in the country? I also don't see how saying something like "Travel has no influence on leaks, poor production does" can possibly be interpreted as spinning in BS's favor. Quite the opposite. |
Another bluestar-themed pissing match! Awesome! How a simple appliance can inspire such passion and vitriol is beyond me. |

#1 Feb 22 2012, 1:33 pm
First of all, why are you using the depreciated ":" operator? the "." operator does exactly the same thing, but I digress. Your issue is:
You're specifying the tile location of the target variables, but not the exact pixel location. That just requires a few more simple references and variables, but that's why your beam is off center from the player. I suggest looking up the step_x and the step_y variables to help you out. Extremely simple fix, should be really quick. It'll just require adding a little more code, I see no need to change anything. (Except the : operators...) |
#2 Feb 22 2012, 1:53 pm
if i use the "." it says that the A.dir is an undefined var anyways im looking into the step vars now.
#3 Feb 22 2012, 2:24 pm
Best response
Ah, I see now. Try this:
I suggest you use this method, as the : operator does not check whether the variable is valid for the referenced object at compile time. The . operator does. This minimizes chance for run-time errors related to the code. If you reference a variable not associated with the object, you'll get an error at run-time when you attempt to use the function. Apologies for being off-topic. I was merely showing you what is a much more preferred solution. The : operator is perfectly fine, but you have to be careful. The . is the safest. |
#4 Feb 22 2012, 5:09 pm
If pixel movement is messing up your projectiles, and pixel movement is not wanted then remove it and its entirety.
If you were planning on setting up a normal projectile system without having to have that unnecessary clot of var/obj/blahblah then you could do it this way:
#5 Feb 22 2012, 5:22 pm
You have posted the same exact broken, terrible code in the past. Are you trying at all?

Great mascara. Gives me the look of Loreal's voluminous without the racoon eyes. Expensive in my opinion, but worth it. Also alot of MK reps trying to clean out inventory on Ebay
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
More reviews by Pink_Starlette
I actually love this mascara. I don't usually love mascara either... Super pigmented black color, doesn't leave raccoon eyes on me in southern humidity, however it does smear and run if you get super wet or start crying so it's not water proof, but definitely smudgeproof during normal wear, in my opinion. The brush really does allow just the right amount to come out of the tube and it applies easily, no clumping for me at all! I hate that it's $15 because it seems like to much to pay for mascara, but I LOVE it... so I just keep paying every 3-4 months lol :0)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have had problems with mascara irritating my eyes and this was no different. It is 15 dollars but not worth it.Although, it does dry fast. It does nothing for my lashes I hate it. I wipe some of the mascara off of the wand before I use it and it still clumps up, it flakes of, makes my lashes look piecy I only dip the wand once if you dip it more than that my lashes are everywhere in a bad way. It goes on very thick. It does not come off the the mary kay oil-free eye make up remover. It flakes off into my contacts which I hate and it makes me angry because I have to clean my contacts about 2-3 times a day now. I will never buy this again. I'm still looking for a mascara and eye make up remover that work for me =( I was hoping this would do it for me but it does not.
This mascara was overpriced and did nothing for my lashes. Barely added any volume and was dry and crusty out of the tube.
i got this for free when i bought the blemish control toner. and i hate it. it just is not a good mascara. it clumps a lot and flakes bad. two things that no one wants in a mascara. save your money its not worth it.
I spent a year crying and searching for a replacement for my Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara, then I stumbled upon this gem. No more tears. Absolutely fantastic. I tried both high end and low end products and this is the bee's knees. Now, if I could only replace my MF last performance and powdered foundation...
this is my absolute favorite mascara i love the way it makes my eyelashes look i've gotten many compliments some ppl even ask me if i'm wearing false lashes ..but IM NOT:) it's all thanks to this mascara .
This mascara is incredible! You do not need very much and a bottle will last you a very long time. I always get compliments on my eye lashes and it is because of this product. This truly is the ULTIMATE mascara =]
This mascara is great. Its a rich black, and i love it. It really great at building volume.I give it 5 stars. One of my favorites.
I ordered this product and thought after I talked with my Mary Kay consultant and I found myself to be poorly disappointed. This product smudges with the least amount of moisture and flakes a lot. I really enjoy the deep black color, but the brush doesn't seem to be designed to provide volume and rather leaves lashes spiky and thin. I'm not really inclined to purchase again.

Chicago White Sox (23-24) at Kansas City Royals (22-23), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Chicago - Jose Quintana (2-3, 3.67) Kansas City - Jeremy Guthrie (2-3, 4.76)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago White Sox certainly haven't missed slugger Jose Abreu the last few days. They'll try to complete a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals Wednesday when the American League Central rivals close out their set from Kauffman Stadium.
Abreu, who leads the majors with 15 home runs, was placed on the disabled list with an ailing left ankle on Sunday. He's in a walking boot and will be re- evaluated on Thursday in Chicago, although, an MRI earlier in the week showed no ligament damage.
The White Sox lost shortly after announcing his DL stint, but have responded with consecutive wins in Kansas City. On Tuesday, Adam Dunn did his part to pick up the slack, as he homered and drove in three to help Chicago to another 7-6 win.
The White Sox erased a five-run deficit on Monday in the opener en route to a 7-6 victory.
Andre Rienzo (4-0) earned the win after striking out eight over six innings, allowing two runs on five hits with two walks.
The White Sox have won all seven of his starts this season.
"The offense has been awesome all year," said Rienzo. "The team made it happen. It's not about me, it's all about the team."
Alex Gordon and Danny Valencia each knocked in two for Kansas City, which saw starter Yordano Ventura (2-4) take the loss after surrendering four runs on seven hits over six innings.
Getting the call for the ChiSox on Wednesday will be lefty Jose Quintana, who is 2-3 with a 3.67 ERA. Quintana beat the Houston Astros on Friday, as he limited them to a pair of runs and seven hits in five innings.
"I want to continue to do my job, throw a long game and keep the game close and give the team a chance to win," Quintana said.
Quintana has faced the Royals eight times, but is still looking for his first win against them. He is 0-3 with a 4.11 in those meetings.
Kansas City, meanwhile, will turn to right-handed veteran Jeremy Guthrie, who has lost his last three decisions. Guthrie's most recent setback came on Friday against Baltimore, as he allowed four runs and eight hits in eight innings to fall to 2-3 on the year to go along with a 4.76 ERA.
He's winless in his last seven starts and hasn't won since beating Tampa Bay back on April 9.
Guthrie is certainly no stranger to the White Sox, having faced them 22 times (20 starts). He is 8-7 lifetime versus them with a 3.58 ERA.
Kansas City took two of three from the ChiSox earlier in the season, but Chicago has won nine of 12 at Kauffman.

Blackfield by Zadok Ben-David, an artist based in London, United Kingdom, is a stunning installation made up of countless three dimensional floral etchings. They are so detailed, people may mistake them for real plant-life at first. Yet, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that is not the case at all. Especially since there are so many different species in one small area.
Made out of metal and individually hand-painted, Blackfield by Zadok Ben-David has been derived from illustrations appearing in 19th century Victorian encyclopedias. Each iteration is comprised of nearly 20,000 pieces. Planted into a circular or rectangular bed of white sand, which is a significate departure from richly nutrient dark soil, the sketch-like sculptures stand almost ominously in perfect rows.

Paul Ryan: Don't interfere with legalized medical pot
The Wisconsin congressman tells KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs that he personally doesn't approve of medical marijuana laws. But he says that states should have the right to choose whether to legalize the drug for medical purposes.
In response to a reporter's question, Ryan said: "It's up to Coloradans to decide."
The interview was taped while Ryan campaigned this week in Colorado Springs and aired Friday.
Colorado is one of 17 states, plus the District of Columbia, that allow medical marijuana.
The Obama administration at first signaled that it wouldn't interfere with state-sanctioned marijuana distribution. But the Justice Department has since angered marijuana activists by shutting down dispensaries in California and Colorado.

When looking for a location to host my annual Blue Bonnet session ... I called and asked many question. They were super informative and sweet on the phone. I am very excited to my visit. How fun that they have real long horns that you can feed and are super friendly ... I will be sure to let y'all know how it goes but for sure give them a call ... I have called other places and asked a lot of questions and they were great about answering them and never seemed put out :) She was even out to lunch in town and took the time to chat with me :)

Reviewed Low-Cal Fettuccine Alfredo

"Great alternative to my favorite food of all time - fettuccine alfredo. I added a dash of ground nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon juice and it was absolutely yummy. It is more of a lemon cream sauce but close enough to the real thing with fewer calories. Will definitely make again and again! ""
